Albion Online: Bald geht’s los! – Intro-Video zeigt Euch das Land Albion

Andreas Bertits 13. July 2017 Reading time 2 minutes

Not long now, the adventures in the sandbox MMORPG Albion Online will start. To get in the mood, the intro video has now been released.

Albion Online transports you to the magical land of Albion, which has long been hidden. In the old world, a greedy king wants to claim the riches of this land for himself and calls for brave adventurers to journey to Albion and search for its treasures. Many, dissatisfied with their previous lives, set out to embark on the adventure. However, only a few survive the dangerous crossing – among these brave heroes are you.

A Land Full of Treasures and Dangers

The survivors immediately begin to build settlements, claim lands for themselves, and initiate trade. However, Albion is not just a land of many resources and treasures. There are plenty of dangers lurking for the heroes. Dangers they wouldn’t even dare to imagine in their darkest dreams…

Focus on PvP

In Albion Online, you set out to explore the land and fight beasts. You also help in building settlements and crafting items. PvP plays a crucial role, as battles are fought over territories. However, even PvE fans will find their enjoyment, as there are many adventures to experience and monsters to defeat in the wild and in dungeons.

The official launch of Albion Online is on July 17.

Ghost Recon Wildlands: Yeti finden – Er ist zurück und bringt Ressourcen!

Patrick Freese 13. July 2017 Reading time 3 minutes

From now on, you can find the Yeti in Ghost Recon Wildlands. The search will pay off for you with a supply of resources.

The great search for the Yeti in Bolivia has started again. In Ghost Recon Wildlands, the new season challenges are active, sending you on a quest for a mysterious creature in the mountains. If you complete the tasks, you will earn a pile of experience points and many resources.

Yeti in GRW – Locations

You have one week to complete the season challenges in GRW. On Thursday, July 20, it’s over, and the challenges will no longer be available. You should make use of this time, as a reward you can expect 2,500 experience points for your account. Additionally, your resource stockpiles will be replenished. For completing the solo challenges, you can expect 2,500 units of each resource in Ghost Recon Wildlands.

With this, you can quickly upgrade your character and perhaps unlock a skill or two. However, these rewards are only given once for each completed single mission. Multiple “farming” of these missions is not possible.

You can earn a total of 7,500 experience points and units of each resource

Solo Challenges

Find all clues to the Yeti’s whereabouts

There are a total of five clues that you need to find for this challenge. They are located at the following places:

First clue -20.7959 / -64.6258: A small camp in the mountains. Walk around the position until progress is displayed.
Second clue -20.6620 / -65.4029: A cave that you must climb into. Move around in the cave until progress is credited.
Third clue -19.3564 / -66.7911: Here you will find a plane wreck. Carefully inspect the crash site to have progress displayed.
Fourth clue -20.5473 / -65.8779: A climber in the mountains. It’s advisable to land with a helicopter on a rocky ledge and use the drone to fly to the climber. This will credit the progress.
Fifth clue -20.4269 / -66.3492: Near a jeep. Move between the jeep and the corpses to receive the 5th progress point.

Summon the Yeti – Find the right rock

Summon the Yeti

To summon the Yeti, fly to the coordinates -19.7421 / -66.6623. There, you will find a stone by the river with bloodstains on it. Go to this stone and use the “Inspect” function that will be displayed to you. Then quickly take cover behind a rock!

Kill and photograph the Yeti

Once you have summoned the Yeti and taken cover, you can kill him. He is sitting as a marksman nearby on a mountain and has you in his sights – so be careful.

When you have killed him, go to his corpse and select the “Inspect” action there. Your character will photograph the corpse, and you will have completed the last point of the solo challenge.

Remember: These challenges are only active until July 20. If you need experience and resources, you should hurry.

The Division 1.7: PTS on consoles frustrating, Massive asks for understanding

Tom Rothstein 13. July 2017 Reading time 2 minutes

In The Division, the PTS on PS4 and Xbox One are causing problems and frustration. Massive apologizes and asks for patience.

The State of the Game took place on July 13. It was solely about the PTS, which went live on PS4 and Xbox One this afternoon.

The PTS are the public test servers where agents can test the upcoming features of update 1.7. The servers have been available on PC for 2 weeks, and now the consoles are joining.

However, the launch of the console PTS is bumpy. Players are disappointed and frustrated.

No Invitations, No Global Events

The community developer Yannick Banchereau addressed various complaints:

Currently, the console PTS are only live for agents in Europe.
Invitations for North and South Americans should have been sent out yesterday, but there are problems here. The invitations are taking longer than expected. All Americans will have to be patient.
Some Asian agents received invitation emails, but no PTS were set up for Asia. It was never planned for Asian players to participate in the PTS. They apologize for this.
Many players are complaining that they were not invited, even though they have far more play hours than other agents who received emails. This is a problem that Massive is aware of. And yes, there have been mistakes. They are looking into it.
Additionally, the Global Event is not active. It should actually be available. Massive hopes to finalize a patch for it today. It should be available by tomorrow at the latest.
The enhancement station is not functioning. Problems have been discovered, which is why recalibration has been disabled.
A fix for the enhancement station will be rolled out with PTS phase 3. This patch will also revise the loot for the Global Events and include numerous other bug fixes. PTS phase 3 will be coming to PC next week. When exactly the consoles will receive it is still unknown.

In conclusion, Banchereau emphasizes that there have never been such PTS on consoles in the gaming industry. This is new territory for them, and they need to go through a learning process first. Therefore, the PTS are still far from perfect. He asks for patience and understanding.

However, a lot of work is being put into making the PTS possible on PS4 and Xbox One. They are convinced that this is important for the community and for the game.

Have you already been on the PTS? What are your first impressions?

EVE Online: Players now search for exoplanets

Andreas Bertits 13. July 2017 Reading time 3 minutes

CCP Games allows players of the space MMO EVE Online to search for distant planets outside our solar system, for exoplanets.

Project Discovery is a scientific crowdsourcing project undertaken in collaboration with the EVE Online developers, Massively Multiplayer Online Science (MMOS), the University of Reykjavik, the University of Geneva, and its honorary professor Michel Mayor, winner of the prestigious Wolf Prize in Physics in 2017.

EVE players search for alien planets

As part of the project, EVE players analyze long-term measurements of the brightness of distant stars from the CoRoT telescope to discover extrasolar planets toward outer space. Before the start of this project, 37 exoplanets had already been discovered based on data from the CoRoT telescope.

While players conduct their analyses and send them to the MMOS citizen science platform and the University of Geneva for review, they can earn in-game rewards such as PLEX, SKINs, and blueprints for the coveted CONCORD ships.

Yves Flückiger, the rector of the University of Geneva, praises the initiative. “The University of Geneva is pleased to pioneer this new method of interacting with so many people. The notion of alien research is no longer tenable when hundreds of thousands are invited to contribute to scientific discoveries.” Professor Michel Mayor adds: “I discovered a new world with the telescope 20 years ago – just as I did this year when I discovered EVE Online and its players during the EVE Fanfest in Iceland.”

How the search works

Anyone participating in Project Discovery is first welcomed by a digital version of Professor Michel Mayor. He explains the basics and how players can search for exoplanets. You will then receive a large amount of data that you can use for your search directly in the game.

You analyze this data in a window, and if you find something, you submit it to the University of Geneva. The whole thing runs like a mini-game. Your discoveries and completing tasks unlock rewards for the game. How precise your analyses are also plays a role.

Your analyses should always be over 50 percent accuracy, or you will not receive in-game items. You look at the recorded light data of a star over a certain period and check for anomalies such as a drop in the light intensity of the star.

You then investigate these irregularities more closely, and if you believe you have found an exoplanet, you submit this result. The better you get at analyzing, the more EXP you earn, and through leveling up, you will reach even higher quality rewards.

July update brings many innovations

The July update of the MMO EVE Online brings many innovations, including a complete rebalancing of the Tech 3 cruisers, new models for Rupture, Muninn, and Broadsword, and much more.

Armored Warfare: Update 0.21 with Panama map, tanks from Poland & Czech Republic

Jürgen Horn 13. July 2017 Reading time 2 minutes

In Armored Warfare the big summer update 0.21 “Eye of the Storm” is approaching. It takes you to the Panama Canal and you will receive new tanks from Poland and the Czech Republic.

The tank combat game Armored Warfare is set in a grim, near future where civil wars rage and ruthless corporations relentlessly enforce their economic interests with armed force through their mercenary troops.

In the upcoming summer update 0.21, the fighting will also spread to the Panama Canal and threaten global trade.

Armored Warfare – New Maps, Tanks and Adjustments

To conquer the Panama Canal, the new PvP map Waterway is on the agenda. There, you can expect a 1300×1300 map with many different terrain features. Therefore, there is something for every player. Additionally, the familiar maps Roughneck and Narrows will be revised for performance and will receive versions for “Global Operations”.

A bunch of new tanks from Poland and the Czech Republic will also be included. The new vehicles range from Tier 6 to 10. The new tanks are the BVP Šakal, KTO Rosomak, KTO Rosomak M1M, WPB Anders, and Wilk XC-8. Many of these tanks feature high rate of fire.

Armored Warfare – Changes to Ammunition and Rewards

As additional content, Patch 0.21 will include changes to certain types of ammunition, such as HEAT grenades, as these were too strong at lower tiers and too weak at higher tiers. Additionally, there will be changes to the credit rewards after battles. The amount of the reward will depend, among other things, on the damage dealt in combat.

The summer update 0.21 does not have a specific release date yet, but as the name suggests, it should be released sometime in summer 2017.

Black Desert: Sommerfest im Bade-Paradies – mit Quests und Minispielen

Jürgen Horn 13. July 2017 Reading time 2 minutes

Black Desert Online celebrates a big summer festival in a dreamlike bathing paradise. There you can experience special quests, mini-games, and events. Additionally, stylish marine costumes are available for purchase, and a patch reduces the required experience points up to level 61.

Black Desert Online offers a plethora of events. Whether you are looking for Tulips in Spring, collecting fortune cookies, or consuming green beer for Saint Patrick’s Day, in the sandbox MMO there’s always something to celebrate!

And then there are really big festivals, like the “Terrmian Festival”.

Black Desert Online – Terrmian Festival with many mini-games and lottery

The festival takes place in the namesake Terrmian Waterpark. It is a colorful bathing paradise on the coast northwest of Olvia. The ideal spot to relax after a tiring day filled with donkey rides and grinding. In the waterpark, you can complete quests

complete daily quests and earn Terrmian coins,
participate in six different mini-games like coconut cannon shooting or shell searching. By the way, you need Terrmian coins for that. As a reward for the mini-games, you get Terrmian seals
and cool prizes like Black Stones, crafting materials, and headgear. You need the seals from the mini-games for that.

You can also exchange the seals from the mini-games for a lottery ticket. This way, you can participate in a raffle on 09.08.2017 and have the chance to win real money prizes like a GeForce GTX 1080ti graphics card or in-game prizes like a rabbit or an advantage package.

Additionally, there are stylish sailor costumes available for purchase in the shop. With them, you can then stylishly take over the waterpark. By the way, the waterpark will remain open until 30 August, but the event ends on 09 August.

Black Desert – Patch reduces required experience points up to level 61

In addition to the summer festival event at the Terrmian Waterpark, there was also a patch for Black Desert Online. The highlight of the update: You now need fewer experience points to level up to level 61, allowing you to level up faster.

Additionally, the karma loss in PvP has been adjusted. Lost karma is now dependent on the AK+VK difference between characters, and you can lose a maximum of 120000 karma if a player with significantly lower AK+VK values is attacked.

What do you think of the event? Are you excited for the summer fun or do you find the bathing paradise and sailor theme silly? Let us know in the comments!

LoL: Kayn Build – Here is how to play the champion on Top Lane and in the Jungle

Patrick Freese 13. July 2017 Reading time 3 minutes

We present to you a Kayn build for LoL with masteries, runes, items, and counter-champions. With this, you are ready for the new League of Legends champion.

Kayn is the new champion in League of Legends and many players are wondering: How do you even play him? Since this champion is still quite new, various play styles and item builds need to be tested. However, there is already a rough build direction you can follow.

As a guideline, we present this Kayn guide for top lane and jungle. For reference, we used this guide from LoLKing and streams from Nightblue3 and other “prominent” junglers.

Kayn Masteries Top/Jungle

As key masteries, Kayn offers “Thunderlords” and “Fervor“. You can adapt and choose these according to your play style. As a jungler, Thunderlords is a good choice. Generally, the mastery of Thunderlords is recommended because you can trigger it with Q, W and an auto-attack.

Kayn Top Masteries:

Kayn Jungle Masteries:

Kayn Runes

When it comes to rune selection, there are various focus options. Some players may prefer higher attack speed. We use attack damage runes that are noticeable when last hitting and against jungle camps in the early game. Armor and magic resistance are a good choice for both junglers and on the top lane. Armor is important for early game fighting against top laners or jungle camps.

Marks (Red): 9x 0.95 Attack Damage
Seals (Yellow): 9x 1 Armor
Glyphs (Blue): 9x 1.34 Magic Resistance
Quintessences: 3x 2.25 Attack Damage

Kayn Skill Build – Ability Priority

Kayn’s skill build depends heavily on your play style. As a priority, we take R>Q>W>E – When you skill E for example, depends on whether you need an escape in the top lane or want to gank early.

We present Kayn’s abilities here

Kayn Items – What to Buy?

Currently, many build attempts for Kayn are circulating, all of which still need to be tested for strengths and weaknesses. As mentioned earlier, the champion has only been available for a short time. It will probably take a few days until “the perfect build” exists. We offer you two orientation options:

Top Lane Build:

Ninja Tabi, Guardian Angel, Youmuu’s Ghostblade, Maw of Malmortius, Randuin’s Omen, Black Cleaver

Jungle Build:

Jungle: Enchantment Warrior, Ninja Tabi, Guardian Angel, Black Cleaver, Maw of Malmortius, Randuin’s Omen
More Damage: If things are going particularly well for you and you are looking for “more damage”, then Bloodthirster, Sterak’s Gage, or Titanic Hydra are a good choice.
More Defense: If you are having problems in the game and taking too much damage, Iceborn Gauntlet, Frozen Heart, or Gargoyle Stoneplate would be a good defense for Kayn.

Kayn Counters – Who Wins Against Kayn?

Particularly tough matchups you have against Quinn or Teemo. Also, Pantheon and Darius are foes that Kayn cannot easily defeat.

Good Against Kayn Are:

Quinn
Teemo
Gnar
Jayce
Kayle
Pantheon
Kennen

Kayn Has An Advantage Over:

Illaoi
Aatrox
Dr. Mundo
Garen
Shen
Yorick
Wukong
Trundle

Have you had experience with the new champion? Feel free to share your builds with us in the comments.

Guild Wars 2: Finale von Season 3 im Juli – Geht’s nach Orr?

Jürgen Horn 13. July 2017 Reading time 2 minutes

In Guild Wars 2, the third season of the Living Story is coming to an end soon. The final episode will be released at the end of July, and shortly after Season 3, the next expansion will already be here.

The Living Story of Guild Wars 2 is always full of surprises. And after the last episode “Flashpoint” already brought some harsh surprises, expectations for the final part of the third season are particularly high.

However, not much is known aside from the release date.

Guild Wars 2 – Orr as a setting for the final episode?

The last episode of the third season of the Living Story in Guild Wars 2 begins on July 25, 2017. More than this date and a moody picture of an Asian-looking ship amid sunken ruins in the jungle are not known from official sources. So where will the final episode lead?

According to many fans, it is clearly heading to the fallen kingdom of Orr. This region was already devastated by a magical disaster before the first Guild Wars started and was an important part of the background story even then. In the second part, the undead dragon Zhaitan awoke in Orr, and some of the northern regions of the sunken peninsula could even be explored.

Guild Wars 2 – Second addon coming soon after season end

Furthermore, Orr is located just west of the Crystal Desert. This wasteland, in turn, is most likely part of the next big addon for Guild Wars 2, which features not only the desert but also other regions of northern Elona, such as the principalities of Vabbi, as a setting. And since the addon is supposed to follow shortly after the end of Season 3, the chances of Orr being a setting for the season finale are truly not bad.

What do you think about the speculation surrounding the location of the finale? Is it clear to you that it is Orr or a completely new region that has not been known before? Let us know in the comments!

Destiny: Maintenance today – Server issues on PS4

Tom Rothstein 13. July 2017 Reading time 2 minutes

Today, on July 13, maintenance work is being carried out for the MMO shooter Destiny. The servers are down. There are server issues on PS4.

Bungie spontaneously announced maintenance for today, Thursday. Due to the time difference, this will take place at an inconvenient time for German Guardians: Right after work.

Preparations for maintenance will start at 5 PM. You will not be able to log in.
At 5:30 PM, the servers will go offline. All players who are still in the game will be kicked from their activities. So make sure you finish before that.
The maintenance is expected to last until 7 PM.

The server downtime affects all consoles. No new content or gameplay innovations will be deployed.

Server Issues on PS4

Last night, there were server problems on the PlayStation 4. Guardians received error messages regarding the connection to the Destiny servers. Bungie stated that they are investigating this issue.

Normally, Bungie would also inform whether a problem has been resolved. However, this information is currently pending. Instead, they announced today’s maintenance. Presumably, this will be used to fix the server issues.

Update: Bungie announced prematurely that these issues have been resolved.

A major stress test for the Bungie servers is approaching: Next week, the beta of Destiny 2 starts. Bungie has already stated that they will use this to thoroughly test the server infrastructure. The demand will certainly be enormous, so you can expect queues and server issues.

This is also the reason why the launch of Destiny 2 was pushed forward by a few days: If the release were to take place at the beginning of the weekend – when there is the most traffic – it would pose an unnecessary risk for the servers. And they definitely want to avoid the servers crashing at launch.

Friday the 13th: Singleplayer and Xbox fix are on the way

Cortyn 13. July 2017 Reading time 2 minutes

Players on Xbox One will soon be able to enjoy Friday the 13th. They and everyone else are also eagerly waiting for the singleplayer mode.

If you are into gruesome horror murders or cooperative escapes from an overpowering killer, you cannot miss Friday the 13th: The Game. Seven camp residents face off in an unequal battle against the killer Jason, who wants to kill them cold-bloodedly – in an extremely brutal manner. Only those who stick together and outsmart the killer through tactics and planning can escape from the map.

Since Friday the 13th was released, there have been numerous problems. First, the servers could not handle the player masses, then bugs plagued the game, and lastly, even a memory leak on Xbox One caused Jason and his victims to completely stop functioning after a while.

Xbox One Memory Leak is Expected to be Fixed Soon

However, according to the publisher Gun Media, they are working on a fix for the memory leak on Xbox One and have made significant progress. The developers are confident that they have contained the problem and that the memory leak will soon be a thing of the past.

But there’s more good news: The singleplayer mode that was promised to players during the development phase is also developing magnificently – and will remain free of charge.

“Thanks to the great support from our fans, we have been able to expand our work on upcoming content, so that we can stick to our schedules while still fixing issues. We look forward to sharing more about this, including the upcoming single-player mode that will be available for free.”

No specific date has yet been provided for the saving patch – but at least there is certainty that the developers are making progress.

Due to all the launch issues, there’s free stuff by the way!

Runescape-Entwickler arbeiten an neuem Free2Play-MMO

Andreas Bertits 13. July 2017 Reading time 2 minutes

Jagex is known for the MMORPG Runescape, which has now been around for 16 years but still delights fans. Now, another title is set to be added.

Previously, Jagex attempted to expand its portfolio. Stellar Dawn was supposed to lead into space, but the game was canceled before it was released. The MOBA Transformers Universe was a flop and was shut down shortly after release. However, these setbacks do not deter the development team.

An innovative Free2Play MMO

The studio is currently looking for new staff for an unannounced new MMO project. Specifically, a Senior Game Designer and a Gameplay Programmer are being sought.

Much is not yet revealed, except that it is a Free2Play project. It is also intended to be an innovative online game, and the staff will be involved from conception to implementation.

During a Twitch presentation, which some believe was a “planned leak”, a developer accidentally shared this image a few weeks ago:

MMORPG? Shared World? MOBA?

Now speculation can run wild about what Jagex is working on. A classic MMORPG? That wouldn’t be particularly innovative. One of the currently popular Shared-World games? Here too, innovation is not as far-fetched as more and more studios are jumping on this bandwagon.

The team has not had good experiences with a MOBA. Therefore, all fans can look forward to what Jagex is cooking up here.

PUBG: Juli-Patch mit Sichtfeld-Anpassung, jetzt doch First-Person-Modus

Jürgen Horn 13. July 2017 Reading time 2 minutes

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds finally gets a settings option for the field of view in the July patch. Additionally, a standalone first-person mode for the battle royale game is being introduced. The weekly patch also fixes some annoying bugs.

Update: Brendan “PlayerUnknown” Greene has just announced via Twitter that they are now introducing a first-person-only server for Europe and North America with the July update. More regions will follow later. Moreover, this applies only to solo and duo matches.

Good news everyone! 1st person servers are coming to @PUBATTLEGROUNDS in our next monthly update! #MakeHardcoreGreatAgain
— PLAYERUNKNOWN (@BattleRoyaleMod) July 13, 2017

Original Announcement:

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds receives a smaller update every week and a larger update every month with many changes and innovations. This month, a field of view adjustment is coming, among other things. However, you will have to wait a bit longer for a real first-person mode, where you play ONLY from the first-person perspective.

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds – Finally adjust field of view

Adjusting the field of view may not be a big deal for many players, but those suffering from motion sickness, the so-called “travel or motion sickness”, may be able to play with an adjusted field of view without symptoms, whereas previously they struggled with nausea and dizziness.

To ensure that as many players as possible can enjoy PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, a slider for field of view adjustment will be included in the July update at the end of the month.

What unfortunately will not be included in the July update is a true first-person mode that does not allow switching back to the previous third-person view. Such a view is, according to chief developer Brendan Greene, not easily doable “at the push of a button”. Instead, all development teams must work together on this feature, and there are currently more pressing matters to attend to. So an official FP mode will take a little longer to arrive.

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds – Weekly patch fixes invisible doors and frozen airplanes

The aforementioned changes will not come until the end of July in the monthly patch. However, what is already here today is the current weekly patch. This one is a bit bigger than usual and fixes a few particularly annoying issues:

The airplane no longer sometimes just stays in the air at the beginning of a match
You can no longer shoot from a vehicle underwater
If you are killed in zoom mode, you should no longer be stuck in zoom forever when being revived
Doors no longer remain as invisible obstacles when destroyed.

Overwatch: PTR Update – Buffs for Reinhardt, Reaper, Zarya and McCree

Cortyn 13. July 2017 Reading time 2 minutes

In the latest Overwatch patch, Reaper finally learns to be silent. But Reinhardt, Zarya, and McCree are also getting improvements!

Although the main attraction of the current PTR for Patch 2.13 is the new hero Doomfist, there are also a number of adjustments to the existing characters. The latest version of the patch not only brought Doomfist’s skins, but also significantly tweaks the balance of many heroes. We have the latest changes for you.

First, a few changes to Doomfist. The maximum range of Rocket Punch has been reduced by 20%. Seismic Slam now clearly indicates how much damage was dealt but can only be aimed at areas lower than Doomfist’s current position.

McCree is getting a slight buff. His Flashbang not only stuns the affected opponent but also significantly slows them down instantly. This should make it harder for enemies to “slide around the corner” during the stun.

Reaper learns to whisper

Reaper, on the other hand, has finally learned to be quieter! When using his Shadow Step, the sound effect of the ability and his voiceover are played much quieter. This allows him to sneak up more stealthily.

Reinhardt is also receiving a few buffs. His hammer swings about 10% faster now, and the developers have changed “many small details,” so hitting enemies should feel better now. Additionally, two charging heroes (Reinhardt and Doomfist) no longer deal damage to each other. However, both will still be knocked down.

A big winner is Zarya, as her Ultimate now prevents affected enemies from using mobility abilities! Once caught in the vortex, they will remain trapped until it ends.

Please note that these patch notes are not final. Everything is temporary until the release of the update.

Furthermore, the developers are still considering changes to Roadhog. However, there are currently no implemented plans in this version of the PTR.

True professionals play Doomfist in style – with a boxing glove!

Destiny 2 should be the largest PC launch since Overwatch

Schuhmann 13. July 2017 Reading time 2 minutes

A forecast certifies Destiny 2 now excellent prospects of becoming a hit, even on PC. It has the potential to be the biggest launch since Overwatch on PC.

SuperData analyzes video games and their chances in the market. They evaluate data and then say: This is how many units the game will sell digitally. That is our forecast.

Now the company has dealt with Destiny 2 and has run thousands of simulations on the sales expectations for Destiny 2.

They believe:

Destiny 2 will sell digitally 3 to 5 million times on PC, PS4, and Xbox One in the first three months.
The data and simulations say: Destiny 2 should become the best-selling premium PC game digitally since Overwatch. Overwatch was released in May 2016.

According to SuperData, they conducted thousands of simulations and calculated probabilities for success.

The sales distribution with the highest probability looks like this: Destiny 2 will sell about 1.5-2 million units digitally on PC in the first 3 months and 2.5-3 million units on PS4 and Xbox One.

That would mean, that the PC platform will be a good place to play Destiny 2. One won’t complain about empty servers or lack of players.

The Battle.net Effect

An important role for this analysis is that Destiny 2 is distributed via Battle.net. This is Blizzard’s own launcher, on which WoW, Overwatch, Hearthstone, and other games run. The expected additional sales through this distribution channel have been included by Superdata in their calculations. They call this the “Battle.net” effect.

Destiny 2 will be exclusively distributed on PC via Battle.net. There is no Steam version of Destiny 2.

On PS4 and Xbox One, Destiny 1 was already a big hit, but only now does the franchise make its debut on PC, albeit with additional delays. The launch date in September is also taken into account. The PC version will be released a few weeks after that for PS4 and Xbox One.

The Division 1.7: PTS auf PS4 und Xbox One sind live – Alle Infos

Tom Rothstein 13. July 2017 Reading time 3 minutes

For The Division , the long wait for console agents is over. The PTS will be available tomorrow on PS4 and Xbox One. Here’s what you need to know.

Update: Since around 12 PM today, on July 13th, the PTS are live on consoles. The Global Event is not yet active. Massive is working on it.

Original notification:

Yesterday, on July 11th, the time finally came. In the late afternoon, many agents – including many of our readers – received an invitation email from Massive, allowing them to participate in the upcoming console PTS phase.

The PTS are the public test servers where the upcoming innovations of Update 1.7 will be rigorously tested.

Yesterday, the emails were sent to agents in Europe and Asia. Today, players from North and South America are next. If you haven’t received any emails so far, the chances are slim that you will receive an invitation.

This email contains important information that Massive has not yet disclosed through public channels: The console PTS starts tomorrow, on July 13th. A specific time is not provided.

PTS Preload is ongoing

If you received an email, you must first confirm your participation. To do this, click the link in the email, which will take you to a page where you can obtain the code for your platform. Some agents are currently complaining that this link does not work. The page does not load. Massive responded that this could be due to traffic if too many agents try to confirm participation at the same time. You should try again later. If it still doesn’t work, you can notify support.

For most agents, the activation works perfectly. You now enter the code in your console store and start the preload. This means you can download the required game data in advance. Since the PTS is a completely separate build, you will need to download a hefty 45 GB.

Information about the PTS:

You can share your code with a friend. It is not account-bound. A thank you to our reader Tokyo ghoul Eto, who provided us with his code.
The PTS is only available in English.
You can stream the PTS and post gameplay online. There is no non-disclosure agreement (NDA).
On the PTS, you should expect many issues, bugs, and crashes (more than usual). It may happen that you lose all your progress on the PTS. The PTS are not intended for “fun”, but for testing purposes.
You do not need to create a new character on the PTS. Your agent from the live game will be transferred. For testing, it may happen that you are asked to create a new agent.
All progress you make on the PTS will not carry over to the live game.
The PTS will be available until Massive has enough feedback. There is currently no end date.
You can submit your feedback in the Ubi Forum.

By the way: There seem to be inconsistencies with the email invitations. There are many complaints in the forums. Some say they received an email even though they hadn’t been active for months. Others complain that they have been very active and can show many hours of play, but did not receive an email.

A total of 10,000 invitations per console are set to be sent out. To have a chance for an email, you need to have been online in the last month and have as many playing hours as possible, according to Massive.

Are you participating in the PTS?

What content to expect on the PTS for Update 1.7, you can read in the link.

Overwatch: Doomfist hat Skins – Hier sind sie alle!

Cortyn 13. July 2017 Reading time 3 minutes

The next hero of Overwatch will be the villain Doomfist. We will show you his skins!

Several days ago, we reported that Blizzard has finally officially announced the next hero for Overwatch. Doomfist will be the next one to “enter the ring” and give his enemies a proper pounding. Just recently, he broke out of prison with Reaper’s help and has rejoined the Talon organization.

But like every hero and villain in Overwatch, Doomfist also has a number of exclusive cosmetic items – the most exciting ones are, of course, the skins. We have listed all skins that the muscle man will have at his release.

All Doomfist Skins at Release

The rare skins of Doomfist are – as usual – rather unremarkable, as they only change the color of the clothing. However, anyone looking for just the right touch for this strong hero should be happy with them. Click the images to enlarge!

More exciting are Doomfist’s epic skins, where he either adopts the camouflage pattern of a cheetah or even applies a complete painting!

Finally, we come to the legendary skins. These are particularly elaborate and show Doomfist significantly transformed. He has either completely turned into an omnic or taken on the avatar of a deity.

There is no specific release date for Doomfist yet. Theories and speculations suggest that he will join Overwatch on July 25 and the Summer Games 2017 will begin a week later, on August 1. We will report as soon as there are binding dates.

And one last detail: Data miners have already extracted from the game data that Doomfist will also receive a special skin for the Summer Games, as well as 3 other cosmetic items (likely sprays and voicelines). This gives Doomfist a total of 71 different cosmetic items at release.

What do you think of Doomfist’s skins? Do you like them or are they too boring? Let us know in the comments!

Pokémon GO: AppStore mentions “first legendary Pokémon”

Patrick Freese 13. July 2017 Reading time 2 minutes

First legendary Pokémon for Pokémon GO are now being displayed as banner ads in the Indian iOS store. A release of these special Pokémon may be closer than many trainers thought.

Currently, Pokémon GO experts and players are dealing with a possible leak. There is a banner ad in the Indian iOS app store that points to the legendary Pokémon. These are mentioned in the same sentence as the special Pikachu with a hat that is currently catchable.

Are these two events connected?

Legendary Pokémon in the Indian App Store

The hype train of the PoGO community is picking up speed again! This train started when the developers announced that summer 2017 is going to be legendary. After the first screenshots of legendary raid battles made the rounds, there are now further hints about legendary Pokémon in Pokémon GO.

On Reddit, user lightninglemons22 shows that a banner ad in the Indian iOS app store mentions the legendary monsters. These are mentioned in the same sentence as the special Pikachu that is currently available to catch in the wild.

“Special Pikachu with a hat and first legendary Pokémon (possibly: “first legendary Pokémon”).

It is unclear how long this ad has been active in the Indian app store. Perhaps it is a leak and this ad was supposed to be activated in a few days. However, we might also find this message soon in our app stores.

It is also claimed on Reddit that this ad was visible in the app store for users from Singapore. In the meantime, the “Great new updates” category, where the ad was found, has disappeared again.

Hints about the legendary Pokémon have already been found in the code that data miners have searched. There, the dark eggs that these special monsters could hatch from were noted.

Legendary Pokémon and the Chicago Fest – Speculation

On July 22, the Pokémon GO Fest will take place in Chicago. Yesterday, Niantic disclosed some details, such as a mysterious riddle, that is supposed to offer trainers around the world a special bonus if solved.

It is likely that this could involve the legendary Pokémon. However, nothing has been officially confirmed yet.

Are you already waiting for these special Pokémon, or do you not care about the release?

Destiny 2: PC players can now link Blizzard and Bungie accounts

Patrick Freese 13. July 2017 Reading time 3 minutes

In preparation for the PC version of Destiny 2, players can now link their Bungie account with their Blizzard account.

For PC players, Destiny 2 launches in October and will be available through the Blizzard network in the “Blizzard App” software. From now on, you can prepare for the release by linking your Blizzard and Bungie accounts.

This allows you to use your Bungie.net profiles while logged into the Blizzard account. The linking process is completed in just a few steps.

Linking Bungie and Blizzard Accounts

Players have already been able to authenticate their Bungie.net accounts using their PlayStation Network IDs or Xbox Live Gamertags. Many players used this method to log in on the Bungie.net site. This allowed the Bungie service to display their character data and stats on the website and provide an overview of all characters.

From now on, you can also use your Blizzard account as an authentication method.

If you already have a Bungie.net account, you can link your Blizzard account in the same way as adding a console account.

But caution: Make sure that you do not create a new account, but add Blizzard to your existing account.

On Reddit, user Aerogizz writes that he accidentally created a new account and linked it again with his old Bungie account’s Gamertag. This leads to losing access to the “old” account! In Bungie’s FAQ, it states: “Players lose their Bungie.net access if they remove their PSN ID, Xbox Live Gamertag, or Blizzard Battle Tag from their profile.”

To connect existing accounts with Blizzard, go to the Bungie.net website settings and select the “Accounts & Linking” section.

Anyone who has not yet had an account on the Bungie website can register there with their Blizzard account:

First, visit the Bungie website and click on “Register” in the top right corner. Here is the link to Bungie.net
Then a pop-up window will open for your account creation. Click on the corresponding network (PlayStation, Xbox, or Blizzard) with which you want to link the account.
Now you will be prompted to log in to the selected network. Then confirm the account by clicking “Continue”.
With your username and email, you will now create your Bungie account.
If you want, you can also add and link additional accounts.
Your profile is now created and you can take advantage of your Bungie account benefits.
It’s best to confirm your email address right away to complete the verification.
Now you are well prepared for the launch of Destiny 2!

The benefits of this account linking are important for you. Destiny 2 beta codes and other rewards will be redeemed via the Bungie.net website. A linked account is therefore a prerequisite for that. Additionally, you can join clans on the website that will play a important role in Destiny 2.

Destiny 2 Beta and Release for PC – When?

Before the release of Destiny 2, you have the opportunity to test the game during beta phases. However, PC players will have to wait until the end of August to participate in the coveted testing phase. PS4 and Xbox One players can test from July 21 to July 23. Pre-orderers will get early access and can play even sooner.

Destiny 2 will be released on September 6 for PS4 and Xbox One. The PC version will have a later launch and will be available from October 24. Kick in the pants for PC players – Bungie loves and punishes them.

Destiny 2 Beta – Everything about start, end, registration, access and codes

Schuhmann 13. July 2017 Reading time 3 minutes

The online shooter Destiny 2 (PC, PS4, Xbox One) will hold a beta. Here is what we know about the beta and open beta for Destiny 2. All information about the beta launch and beta registration.

Destiny 2 will be released on September 6, 2017, for PS4 and Xbox One. The PC release is on October 24. But ahead of that, players will have the opportunity to get their hands on the shooter: a beta has already been announced.

We summarize what is currently known about the Destiny 2 beta.

Pre-order Beta and Open Beta Coming

Two beta phases have been announced – a “Closed Beta” phase, which transitions into an Open Beta.

First, a “Closed Beta” will take place. Access will be granted to players who pre-order. It is likely that “beta invitations” will also be sent out or raffled off as gateways by YouTubers, streamers, gaming sites, or shops. Pre-orders for Destiny came with beta guarantee. Initial giveaways have also been announced, promising beta keys.
There will also be the opportunity to test Destiny 2 in an Open Beta. All Guardians are expected to have the chance to provide feedback, as officially stated.

Destiny 2 Beta Release: When will the beta phases start? When does the Destiny 2 beta end?

PS4 with early access (Closed Beta): July 18 at 7:00 PM our time.
Xbox One with early access (Closed Beta): July 19 at 7:00 PM.
The Open Beta for everyone begins on PS4 and Xbox One on July 21 at 7 PM.
The Open Beta ends in the night from Tuesday, July 25, to Wednesday, July 26, at 2:00 AM.
PC: The beta starts for pre-orders on August 28. The Open Beta for everyone starts on August 29. The Destiny 2 PC beta ends on August 31.

Preload for the Beta – Download in Advance

The Destiny 2 Beta preload starts on July 13 at 7 PM on PS4 and Xbox One. You will need a beta code for this.

Destiny 2 Beta Registration: How to gain access?

Everyone will have access to the open beta. For the pre-order beta, there’s an FAQ from Bungie on how to gain access. The most important points:

Players who pre-ordered from the PlayStation or Xbox store will automatically receive beta access with the account they used to pre-order.
If you pre-ordered from a retailer and received a code, you can redeem it on this page from Bungie. Later, Bungie will contact players and distribute the Destiny 2 beta download code.
Amazon has assured that it will send the beta code “in time before the start of the official beta testing phase.”

The contents of the beta

In the beta, you can play the first story mission “Homecoming,” the strike “Inverted Spire,” and PvP. The PvP includes the new Countdown mode on the Midtown map and the revised Control mode on the “Endless Vale” map. There will also be secrets in the beta.

The new subclasses Dawnblade, Arcstrider and Sentinel are playable. The Titan, Voidwalker, and Gunslinger are also included as revised versions.

Destiny 2 Beta – 6 subclasses playable, but with limitations

On Sunday, July 23, the Farm will go live for an hour at 7 PM. This is the new social space in Destiny 2.

Beta Rewards

If you participate in the beta, you can look forward to an exclusive emblem. We present this beta reward here.
